JOHN R. MURPHY, 

The new proprietor of the Clementine Hatli-House, one of the largest, 
handsomest and most complete at Mt. Cleir.ens. is from Allegheny 
I Pittsburg), Pa.; hut since making a purchase of this valuable property 
he has spent considerable time here and at his summer cottage. Alle- 
gheny Villa, at the mouth ol the Clinton River, on Lake St. Clair, seven 
miles from this city. We make tlie following extracts from a handsome 
volume entitled, ".Allegheny Police Department.'' which was published 
while Mr. Murphy was Chief of Police of that citv. 

■' Directur of Public Safety, John K. Murphy, has risen to the e.xalted 
position lie now holds, that of having in charge the safety, lives, property 
and health of the residents of his native city, from that of a poor boy, 
and that he has lor the past ten years held the office proves that he has 
performed his duties in a manner entirely satisfactory to the law-abiding 
citizens ul Allegheny, all of whom give him credit for doing his duty in a 
faithful and satisfactory manner. 

"Director Murphy was born in the third ward, Allegheny, Aug. 22, 
i^it^o. He attended schonl until he was twelve years old. His first ein- 
plnvMR'nt was in a tobacco factory, and during the exciting times of the 
CiM, W ;ir he sold newspapers. At the close of the war Mr. .Murphy, tiien 
.1 -inpling of a boy. went to work for a Mr. Davis, a well-known gardener, 
;iii>l w liile working in tlis capacity he became a familiar figure about the 
niaikut house, ^o which he doiibtless owed Ins appointment, in 1S76. to 
the position of Market Constable. Here for eiehi years he so ably per- 
lormed his duties as a police officer, and so efficient had he become in 
Ins knowledge of police matters, that when James (J. Wymau was elected 
to the office of Mayor of Allegheny, in 1HS4, in casting about for a suit- 
able man for the office of Chief of Police, he decided upon John R. Mur- 
phy as the right man for the place. Mr. Murphy not only assumed the 
duties of Chief, but during the three years of \Vyman"s administration 
he so ably performed the duties that the foundation was laid for the ex- 
cellent department of today. He improved upon the police telegraph, 
and established and put in operation the patrol -\agons m use today. 

"Upon the retirement of^ Mayor Wynian, Mr. Murphy was placed on 
the detective force by Mayor Pearson, where he distinguished himself by 
running to earth many noted criminal.'^. When Wyman was re-elected 
in 1S90 ne was restored to his former office of Chief of Police. At this 
time the mode of city government was changed, and. as the new charter 
provided, heads of departments were placed in charge of municipal 
attairs. and in 1S91 Mr. Murphy was elected by Council the first Diiector 
"[ the Department of Public Safety, which includes the bureaus of do- 
iice, fire, health, charity, electricity and building inspection. Under his 
supervision and direction the bureaus ol his department have been 
1 ought to a state of efficiency which is not excelled by any other city 
111 the country." 

In the recent election of Nov S. 1904. he was elected upon the Repub- 
lican ticket a Representative to the Slate Legislature.

MT. CLEMENS AND ITS MINERAL WATERS 

HE mineral waters of Mt. Clemens have estab- 
lished their reputation upon a firm and lasting 
foundation. Their medicinal virtues, and the 
numerous and wonderful cures eiTected by their 
judicious use, are marvelous and almost be- 
y(.ind coniparison. 

They are the strongest mineral waters in use, and we 
call attention to and advise a careful study of the analyses 
published in connection with the notices of the different 
bath houses. 

These mineral waters are secured from deep wells, 
though they are frequently referred to as springs. They 
range in depth from 8oo to 1.300 feet, and the deeper the 
well, the stronger is the mineral water obtained ; but the 
increased strength is principally in sodium (common salt). 
The first well was drilled in 1865 by a company organ- 
ized for the purpose cf prospecting for oil. It is said that 
oil and gas experts consider that the local indications are 
excellent for both of these illuminating properties and 
predict that each will be found when sulificient depth has 
been reached. Gas in considerable quantities is found in 
all of the deep wells. 

The Original Company drilled nearly 1..W0 feet and then 
abandoned the hope of securing oil (urnbably because 
of an insufficient capital to continue longer ) ; however, 
they ascertained that the water in their deep well was 



rich in salt, and after considerable delay a new company 
was organized and commenced the manufacture of salt in 
large quantities. 

But they v.-ere never able to make it a commercial suc- 
cess, because of the large quantities of other minerals it 
contained, its dark color and the poor quality of the salt 
manufactured. 

Very fortunately, the medicinal virtues of this valuable 
mineral water were discovered while the manufacture of 
salt was in progress. 

Several well-known citizens took thermal salt baths 
in the salt vats and improvised bath tubs, and very re- 
markable cures were effected in cases of eczema, neuralgia 
and rheumatism. 

These cures were so perfect and the citizens cured so 
well known, that all the people who were familiar with 
the facts became firm believers in the curative qualities of 
these mineral waters and the thermal sulpho-saline baths. 

Little progress was made until a regular bath house 
was erected and hotel accommodations provided. These 
were comnleted in 1873, the Original Bath House and the 
.•\verv Hotel being the first to supply the demand for baths, 
board and lodging for invalid visitors; and this date is 
really the starting-point of Mt. Clemens as a health resort. 
These were built by Dr. Henry Taylor, who was assisted 
by local capitalists! who desired to give these waters a 
fair trial. Its reputation, growth and popularity have in- 
creased annually. 




The patronage of tlie first bath hou~e erected was 
small lor tlie first year, but the speedy cures of rheumatism 
were so remarkable that all visitors who were cured, or 
witnessed the cures in otliers, u-ion returning to tlieir 
homes sang the praises of Mt. Clemens and its mineral 



baths so long and 
so loud that their 
echoes reached 
all parts of our 
country, and then 
commenced a 
pilgrimage of in- 
valids from near- 
ly every State, 
and in such num- 
bers that the 
Iiotels and board- 
ing houses of 
that early day 
were insufficient 
for their com- 
fortable accom- 
modation. 

It is no won- 
der that these 
s u I p h o - saline 
waters gained 
such a world- 
wide reputation : 
when we con- 
sider that in- 
valids who had 
suffered for 
months, in some 
cases for years, 
and had come 
here on cots or crutches, were walking without assistance 
in a few days, what else could be expected? 

Tliose suffering with rlienmatic pains, so severe that 
a good sleep was impossible, are enabled to sleep all night 
after one or two baths, and thus obtain the rest they had 



been denied for 
weeks. This re- 
sult the writer 
has personally 
known to have 
been obtained 
from a single 
bath. It seems al- 
most miraculous 
and requires ocu- 
lar evidence to be 
credited, but its 
truthfulness can 
be verified by any 
one who will 
spend a few days 
at this resort and 
will be observing. 
It is not claimed 
that all cases are 
thus speedily re- 
lieved, but an im- 
prove ment can 
reasonably be ex- 
pected after a few 
baths, and a cure 
effected in time. 
Mt. Clemens is 
ore of the most 
beautiful cities in 
M i c li i g a n , a 
State noted for having a large number that properly come 
under this class. Its lovely shaded streets, lined with 
elegant residences of prosperous citizens and the cozy cot- 
tage houses of the working people, all combine to make 
the city a desirable place of residence and an exceed- 




ingly pleasant place for the general traveler to visit. 
The business of the city as a mercantile center is some- 
what retarded by its close proximity to the city of Detroit, 
a very beautiful place, and one of the most prosperous and 
enterprising of its size in the United States.

However, all kinds of trade are represented in the 
retail line, and well-assorted stocks of goods are to be 
found in the handsome and commodious storerooms of 
Mt. Clemens, where they are sold at reasonable prices, 
which competition with the merchants of its neighlioring 



city necessitates. 
The city is 
growing and is 
very prosperous, 
and while its 
manufacturing 
interests arc in- 
creasing, its main 
reliance will al- 
ways be upon the 
bathing and hotel 
business, because 
Mt. Clemens is 
the greatest 
health resort in 
the Northern 
States, and may 
become the most 
important in the 
I'nion. Its future 
growth and pros- 
perity verj- large- 
ly depend upon 
the enterprise of 
it? own citizens. 
The city has 
waterworks, gas 
and electric 
lights, electric 
street cars on the 
principal streets, 
which connect with all trains, and pass all the principal 
hotels, boarding houses and bath houses. The electric car 
line to the Lake Side via Crocker Boulevard has been built 
and is doing an excellent business. Lake Side Inn and 
other attractions draw great crowds daily. The Rapid 



Railway has also 
completed its 
lines to Toledo, 
Ohio, and is now 
one of the long- 
est and best elec- 
tric lines in the 
United States, 
connecting Mt. 
Clemens and De- 
troit, and Detroit 
and Lake Shore 
and Mt. Clemens, 
and Detroit and 
Port Huron via 
Mt. Clemens.

AII-the-Year 
Round Resort 

Mt. Clemens 
has long been 
looked upon as a 
summer resort 
only, but of late 
years the im- 
provements made 
in the best hotels 
and bathing 
houses by steam 

heating, etc., have made the houses so comfortable that 
baths are given in the coldest weather, and with proper and 
prudent precaution on the part of bathers, without the 
least danger of taking cold. The degree of heat is equal- 
ized all over these houses, and even in the passageways 




connecting the hotels with the bath houses. Thus the 
baths are given in the most severe and disagreeable weather 
as well as in the most pleasant season of the year. 

It is claimed by many that cures are more readily 
obtained in winter than at any other season, because the 




invalids make a business of getting well, remain indoors, 
take better care of tbemselves and bathe regularly. In 
summer tliey fish, sail on the river and lake, and otherwise 
expose themselves, and frequently take cold, and thus re- 
tard improvement. Therefore, many cases of rheumatism 



are cured in 
winter in a short 
time that pos- 
sibly would not 
be cured at all if 
the invalid did 
not do his part 
toward recovery. 

BATHING 

The baths at 
Mt. Clemens are 
administered witli 
more care and at- 
tention than at 
any bathing place 
we know of. En- 
.iiagements are 
made at the of- 
fice of the bath 
house for the ex- 
act time the in- 
valid desires to 
bathe, or can 
make an appoint- 
ment. First to 
come makes 
choice of time 

and attendants, 

and only one per- 
son is admitted into tlie bathing department for any attend- 
ar.t at the same time. The time allowed for each bath is 
one-half hour. Of course, occasionally a longer bath is 
given, but usually they average about that length of time ; 
frequently a few minutes less. Most of the time the invalid 



is in the bath tub " 
he is being 
worked upon by 
the attendant, es- 
pecially those af- 
flicted with rheu- 
matism, paralysis 
and kindred 
troubles. Fifteen 
minutes is the 
average time oc- 
cupied in the 
bath tub, and 
after the bath, a 
thorough drying 
and rubbing is 
ad mi niste red, 
after which suf- 
ficient time is 
spent in the cool- 
ing room to re- 
duce the heat of 
the body to its 
normal condition, 
as nearly as pos- 
sible, before the 
invalid is allowed 
to venture out of 
doors. All dan- 
ger of taking 
cold is guarde'l

HOW TO REACH MT. CLEMENS 

-As Mt. Clemens is twenty-two miles from Detroit, 
Mich., and is reached by steam only by the Grand Trunk 
Railway, the reader can easily see, by consulting a railroad 
map, how he can best reach it, via Detroit, from his own 
home. We can almost say that any railroad or steamboat 
line that will lead you to Detroit will take you to Mt. 
Clemens, though transfer at Detroit is necessary on all lines 
excepting the Grand Trunk. But when you reach Detroit 
you are nearlv there, and any of the five daily passenger 
trains will land you at Mt. Clemens in 40 or 50 minutes. 

'Hie Rapid Railway and the Lake Shore from Detroit 
are two of the best electric roads in the United States, and 
make regular trips every half hour. Fare, 25 cents. Time,

The Clementine Bath House 



THE CLEMENTINE BATH HOUSE 

This is one of the most elegant bath houses in tlie 
United States, and is deservedly popular and successful. 
Its appointments are first-class and modern. It is kept 
scrupulously neat and clean and always up-to-date, and its 
business has increased annually, and during the last busy 
season its capacity was taxed to almost its full limit. 

This splendid property has been purchased by Mr. John 
R. Murphy, of Allegheny, Pa., who for over eight years 
was chief of police and director of public safety of that, 
his native city. He has organized a stock company, Clem- 
entine Hath Co., of which he is president. 

The Clementine deserves its reputation, and its patrons 
are of the very best class of visitors and citizens. 

Every kind of bath given in this city is given at the 
Clementine, including tub, douche, spray and vapor. 

Connected with each bath room is a dressing and cool- 
ing room, provided with a lounge or couch, upon which 
a nap or rest may be had after the bath. The mineral water 
supply is obtained from a well drilled especially for this 
bath house, and is situated on an adjacent lot, entirely sep- 
arate, where are located the engines, boilers, pumps and 
water-tanks, and the only connection is by pipes, which 
convey the mineral water and the steam heat used. 

The building is not only handsome in its construction, 
but is commodious and conveniently arranged. 

The front part of the building is two stories high, with 
lofty ceilings. On the ground floor is a large o'Tice. with 
its handsome tile floor and beautiful finish of natural oak. 
On the left of the office are the ladies" parlor and cooling 
rooms. The former is carpeted and furnished equal to the 
average private parlors. On the right are gentlemen's par- 
lors, reading and cooling rooms; neatly finished, in keeping 
with the office ard rooms, entirely of oak. 



The second floor is divided into sleeping rooms and a 
handsome reading and u riting room for the pleasure and 
cor.venience uf the patrons of the Clementine. The sleep- 
ing rooms are rented to those whose illness requires them 
to be handy to their bath, and others who prefer them 
separate from a hotel, llie building is surrounded on two 
fronts with a beautiful broad veranda, well shaded by 
natural forest trees of mature growth. 

In addition, the Clementine enjoys a close proximity to 
the Kenton, Sherman House and the Eastman, being sep- 
arated only by a doorway from the former, and a narrow 
street from the two latter. 

The Clementine is also convenient to several smaller 
hotels and boarding houses and is extensively patronized 
by their boarders. They are the Arlington, the King 
House, the Woodbine, the Clementine, the Caproii, the 
Chase Cottage, the Tennessee, the Walnut and others. 

The attendants, both male and female, are those who 
have had long experience, and they are always kind and 
obliging to their invalid patrons. They prepare the bath, 
attend to the wants of the bathers, massage and manipulate 
the patient while in the bath, and rub and dry them after 
the bath ; for these services the attendant's fee is 25 cents. 
The tickets for mineral baths are 50 cents ; vapor, 75 cents ; 
foot-bath, 25 cents ; fresh-w'ater bath, 25 cents. These 
tickets are secured at the office, before taking the bath, 
of a young lady. Miss Nellie D. Metier, who has been in 
charge of the oflice of this bath house since it first opened 
its doors to the public. 

Mr. Coursin, the builder and former owner, was for- 
tunate in the selection of the location for the Clementine, 
and strangers in Mt. Clemens cannot but appreciate the 
beautiful scene that greets the eye from the bath house.

Dear Sib: Please permit me to tell you in a few words what the 
baths have done for me. and what I have seen them do for others. 
When I came to Mt. Clemens about ten weeks ago. every joint from 
my toes to my head was sore and stiff, and I could hardly expect to 
be cured in so short a time, as my case had been standing for over 
ten years. My toes on botli feet had been stiff for five years, and 
during the ten years that I suffered I wasn't one minute, night or 
day. without pain, and I had taken so much medicine that my 
stomach was ruined: couldn't eat or sleep. I felt relief after the 
first bath, and continued to improve, every day gaining a little, til! 
now I feel that I am cured; haven't got a pain nor ache; I eat well 
and sleep well and have gained seventy-one pounds. 

I ha\-e seen men come here on cots, and to my great surprise saw 
them walking without even the aid of a cane in less than two weeks. 
I have seen in the closets of the dilTcrent hotels hundreds of crutches 
and canes that have been left behind by those \

Well, Squire Daugherty and I arrived in Pittsburg .Tune 5, U. K. 
I am feeling better every day. Every one remarks how well I look. 
No wonder after being under the doctor's care for eight weeks with 
rheumatism, broken down in spirit, health and constitution, I came 
to your place May 16. 1905. could hardly walk, and only weighed 
128 pounds. After taking a course of twentyone baths I made a 
gain of twenty pounds— about a pound a day. I can safely say that 
for rheumatism or a run-down constitution, any one who takes a 
course of baths and takes care of himself, is sure to be benefited. 
A word to the wise is sufficient: go to Mt. Clemens.

The Fouutam Bath House 



THE FOUNTAIN BATH HOUSE 

This large establishment has recently made very im- 
portant improvements, including solid porcelain tubs, tile 
and mosaic floors, marble wainscoting and partitions, mak- 
ing the interior look like an entirely new house. It is the 
second largest in the city, and one of the largest in the 
United States, having fifty bath rooms, four cooling rooms, 
ladies' and gentlemen's parlors, physicians' office, and a 
rotunda or general reception room over twenty feet wide, 
fifty-six feet long, and with a ceiling twenty-four feet high. 
In the construction of the Fountain, especial attention was 
given to ventilation, a very important item in a bath house. 
The Fountain Bath House also contains seventy private 
cooling rooms, which assures perfect privacy to bathers. 
Extra large rooms and bath tubs are provided for those so 
badly crippled and deformed that it vv'ould be difficult or 
impossible to bathe in an ordinary tub or be conveniently 
handled in a small bath room. All the various kinds of 
baths administered at this resort can be had at the Foun- 
tain. A gymnasium is provided for all patrons. An exten- 
sive steam laundry is also provided for the thorough wash- 
ing of bath robes, etc. The mineral water supplying this 
bath house is obtained from one of the deepest wells in the 
city, and is situated just back of the bath house and under 
the tall tower to be seen in the engraving on the opposite 
page, but this building is entirely separate. 

The price of baths is the same as at all the houses, 
being 50 cents for mineral water, 25 cents for mineral foot- 
bath, and 75 cents for mineral vapor. Fresh water bath, 
25 cents. Attendant's fee, 25 cents extra. The Fountain 



Bath House is connected with the Clifton House, on same 
block, by an enclosed passageway, and also with the Foun- 
tain Hotel and the Crystal. The passageways are heated 
by steam, well lighted, and the return to the hotel after 
the bath can be made without exposure or danger of tak- 
ing cold. C. H. & E. D. Meldrum, Proprietors.

The Colonial Hotel— Ladies' Parlor 



THE COLONIAL HOTEL 

The Colonial is constructed and equipped on a scale of 
magnificence and completeness of detail especially pleasing 
to patronage of the better class. It is situated on the 
highest elevation in the city — thus affording a comprehen- 
sive view of the beautiful country round about. 

The hotel is constructed of brick, stone, tile, cement, 
etc. It is, therefore, fireproof. Further, it is adapted for 
business at all seasons of the year. 

The spacious grounds in front and rear of the hotel and 
the pretty country just across the Clinton River, are sur- 
roundings which invite the careworn guest to a pleasant 
recreation. 

Among the pastimes most favored are boating, fishing, 
walks in the woods, wheeling, automobiling, tennis, court- 
golf, croquet, etc. 





The Clinton River, Near the Colonial 

There are many good boarding houses close by the bath 
Iiouse for those who prefer less pretentious accommoda- 
tions than the Colonial offers. 

Bath House 

The entrance to the bath house is from the hotel lobby 
and but ten feet from the elevator. 

The Colonial Bath is fitted in the most modern and sub- 
stantial manner. The walls are of marble, the tubs of solid 
porcelain and the floors are of tile, which construction in- 
sures an absolutely sanitary condition. 

All forms of baths are administered, and all sorts of 
electric batteries for the treatment of many diseases are 
much in evidence.

The Medea Hotel and Bath House 




THE MEDEA HOTEL 

The new Medea Hotel is the 
realization of a long-cherished 
hope of the Mt. Clemens Bath Co. 
It is designed to meet the de- 
mands of a large and exclusive 
class of visitors who desire a tlior- 
oiighly modern and roomy house 
with an attractive central location. 
The constructive finishings of 
the interior of the structure ac- 
cord throughout with its massive 
and picturesque exterior. The 
building faces Gratiot, as beautiful 
an avenue as any city in the land 
can boast. There are two 
entrances besides the one to the 
bath house off this street, one 
leading directly to the magnificent 
lobby, the other to the ladies' re- 
ception room. The lobby forms 
a veritable palace, with its pure 
white Italian wainscoting and 
floor of vitreous tiling of har- 
monious colors and pleasing de- 
signs. Opening off the lobby are 
the bathing departments, ladies' 
parlor, dining room, ordinary.

reading and writing rooms, buffet, barber shop, a public 
and private office, elevator and stairways. Hence it will be 
seen tbat it is so planned that every convenience and utility 
admits of the fullest enjoyment on the part of guests. 

The dining room and kitchen are without pillar or post, 
lacking nothing in the way of modern appointments. Fully 
250 people can be served at one time in the dining room 
and ordinary without the least inconvenience. 

The three upper stories of the hotel are reached from 



the office by a marble stairway of easy gradient and a 
hydraulic elevator. 

On each floor are two e.xtra wide halls, extending at 
right angles nearly 200 feet from a spacious foyer. Every 
one of the 150 guest rooms opening off these halls com- 
mands a pleasant outside view, besides possessing every 
utility that careful foresight could provide. The rooms are 
extremely large and commodious, every one in the Iiouse 
having steam heat, hot and cold running water, a white

enameled stationary washstand, clothes closet, electric 
lights, and a long-distance telephone giving free service to 
guests throughout the hotel and bath house. Many of the 
rooms are en suite, with private bath and toilet, some with 
private toilet, while on each floor are two general lava- 
tories, all equipped with a view of securing the very highest 
degree of beauty, comfort and sanitation. Guests may rest 
assured that the Medea will afford all the comforts and 
luxuries that a modern love of ease can suggest and the 
markets can afford. 



The Medea Bath House 

The justly celebrated Medea is one of the pioneers of 
Michigan mineral waters. It is strongly impregnated with 
salt and sulphur, standing first among the noted saline- 
sulphur springs of the world. In calcic and magnesic 
chlorides it is remarkably rich, rendering the Medea baths 
exceptionally valuable in the treatment of rheumatism and 
skin diseases. 

The bath departments are fitted throughout with solid 
porcelain tubs of large size. The bath rooms are partitioned 



Bath House Office 





with while Italian iiiarl)lf aiul Moored with vitreous tiling, thus affording the 
very highest degree of beauty and sanitation obtainable. 

The bathing departments are separated from the general waiting rooms, 
parlors and cooling rooms by a transverse hall, and contain 150 liath rooms 
with a daily capacity of over 1,500 baths. 

For each bath room there is a dressing and cooling room, where patients 
are afforded privacy and where an undisturbed and refreshing rest after bath- 
ing may be enjoyed. 

The Medea baths are well patronized by the guests of smaller hotels and 
boarding houses adjacent, as well as by the guests of the Medea Hotel, but 
the capacity of this bathing establishment is sufficient to accommodate a num- 
lier greater than has been required at any one time. In building the bath 
halls and bath rooms, which was several years previous to the erection of 
the hotel, the company looked forward to the great increase in the business 
of this great health resort. 

Conrectcd with the Medea Hotel, as well as with the bath house, is a 
flowing spring wliich supplies both with pure soft drinking water, an ad- 
\antage of incalculable value to persons suffering from stomach, kidney or 
bladder troubles. When freely used in conjunction with the baths in the 
treatment of these diseases, prompt relief follows. The ill effects so fre- 
quently experienced through a change of drinking water can be avoided by 
the use of this slightly diuretic spring water. 

Mr. Wni. J. Daley, the president of the company, will continue to have 
special charge of the bath house, and will give his personal attention to this 
branch of the business. His many years of experience in this particular 
line and liis particular knowledge of the admir;istration of Mt. Clemens min- 
rral water will render his services of great assistance to patrons of the 
.Medea bathv

Medea was a favorite 
goddess in mythical lore 
symbolizing the Dawn. Her 
virtues have been lauded by 
modern poets because of her 
mysterious power in restor- 
ing to rheumatic old Eson 
the bloom and activity of 
youth. She gave her name 
to the Medes, who in con- 
nection with the Persians 
have been handed down in 
history. She also gave her 
name with added luster to 
Mt. Clemens' famous bath 
house, where thousands of 
Esons are annually restored 
to health and youthful vigor.

Park Hotel and Batli House, Iiooking West 



THE PARK HOTEL AND BATH HOUSE 

Tlie Xcvv Park Hotel and Bath House are open all the 
year and represent the finest additions to the great bathing 
interests of Mt. Clemens. The hotel is the largest in the 
city, as it is the finest in the State, and has a national 
reputation. Located upon an attractive and slightly ele- 
vated site in the prettiest portion of the town, the view 
from its broad and continuous piazzas is decidedly pic- 
turesque, being surrounded by nicely kept lawns and beds 
of summer flowers. Its popularity is due to its present 
management, which assumed charge fifteen years ago, en- 
larging and newly furnishing the hotel with all the modern 
conveniences foiuid in the be.st first-class houses in large 
cities. Its proprietors, Messrs. Kiefifer and Mc.'\rthur, are 
thoroughgoing, and their popularity has increased with 
their residence here. The magnificent addition recently 
completed gives the hotel with all the modern conveniences 
found in the parallel outside of the great cities, and not 
many there. It is furnished most sumptuously. Its splen- 
did lobby and corridors and wide verandas afiford delight- 
ful promenades, and many of the rooms being en suite, with 
private bath rooms, guests can have every comfort, con- 
venience and lu.xury. The Park cuisine is famous. 

The Park Bath House 
Owned and operated by Messrs. Wm. Burgard and George 
Kiefler, under the firm name of Burgard & Kieffer, is un- 
der the same roof as the hotel, doing away alike with ex- 
posure to outside air and long and tedious passageways. 



It is the finest batliing institution in the country. It lias 
marble floors, partitions, wainscoting, and private cooling 
rooms, and every latest improvement.

We claim for the Park mineral water superior efficacy, 
and we do this without seeking to detract from the 
acknowledged merits of other waters. We submit com-

Avery Hotel. Mineral Baths from Original Well 



THE AVERY HOTEL 

The mineral baths of the Avery Hotel are supplied from 
the Original Springs (the well that made Mt. Clemens 
famous). 

These mineral baths, known as the Original, are the 
same today as when first discovered some forty years ago, 
showing the same astounding curative merits. 

Three years ago the Original Bath House was destroyed 
by fire and the new one (under the same roof as the 
Avery) is modern and well equipped with largest size 
porcelain tubs. 

When the hotel was last completed and enlarged, about 
twelve years ago, it was known as "The Egnew.'' and 
catered to an exclusive patronage. In April of this year 
the management expended several thousand dollars in new 
equipment and furnishings and are now operating the mo.st 
home-like hotel in the city. 



It is several years since the writer was entertained as 
a guest at this hotel until this season (1909), and we are 
pleased to say we were more than satisfied with our stay, 
and freely state without any hesitation that we consider it 
the best hotel we have ever patronized for the exceedingly 
low rates charged. We were also surprised as well as 
pleased to meet among its guests a class of patrons equal 
to those met with anywhere. The Original Baths have 
lieen the drawing card, and the excellent table at the 
Avery retains all who come. Some of the guest rooms are 
quite large and well furnished, and everything is kept 
clean and tidy. 

Rates, including room, meals, bath and attendant, $3.00 
and upward per day.

THE EASTMAN 

This excellent hotel was completed and opened to the 
patronage of the public early in the season of igoo. 

It is the highest building of any kind in the city, being 
five stories high, and is one of the very best built houses 
in Mt. Clemens, substantial in structure and handsome in 
the detail of its construction, especially its interior. 

The illustration of the Eastman upon the opposite page 
plainly shows that it is built of brick and stone ; and as it 
is heated by steam and illuminated by electricity, it is prac- 
tically or very nearly a fire-proof building. 

The situation of this hotel, on Cass avenue, third door 
from the corner of South Gratiot avenue and the Court 
House Square, is both pleasant and convenient. 

The two avenues named are both occupied by the Rapid 
Railway tracks (electric), the former leading to the depot 
of the Grand Trunk Railway, and the latter with their 
through line from Detroit to Port Huron. 

It is also nearly opposite the beautiful Clementine Bath 
House. 

The office of the hotel is beautifully tiled, has marble 



wainscoting, and a spacious marble stairway leading to the 
upper stories ; an elevator is also provided, which makes 
the upper rooms equally as desirable as the lower ones, 
and to some people more so, on account of better and 
purer air to be had at higher elevations. 

Hotel Eastman is furnished with the best of everything 
in all its departments, and in even its top rooms, which 
are equal to any in this respect. The grill room is ex- 
ceedingly handsome, and its furnishings are rich and tasty. 
All the latest appliances necessary to make the Eastman 
first-class, and give it the most modern conveniences, were 
provided in its construction. 

The Eastman is conducted upon the European plan. 

Back of the office is a very handsome cafe, open from 
7 a. m. to 8 p. m., at popular prices. The hotel is under 
the personal management of Mr. Wm. Reep, formerly of 
the Sherman, assisted by Mr. Eugene E. Hall, formerly 
proprietor of the Hall House. .\ny letters of inquiry will 
be cheerfully answered. 

Rates, from $i.oo per day up. 

Reep & Reep. Proprietors.

cluding hot and cold

The Sherman House 




OSloe and Lobby — Sherman House 



THE SHERMAN HOUSE 



This is the most centrally located hotel in the city, heing 
situated on the corner of Court House Square and Cass 
avenue. It is one of the oldest in Mt. Clemens and for 
a long time enjoyed the reputation of being the leading 
hostelry of this resort. It is especially convenient for com- 
mercial men, being at the center of business, handy to the 
large mercantile houses, banks, etc. The street cars pass 
this corner going to and returning from the depot and 
other parts of the city, and usually make a stop for a few 
minutes before going to the depot to make connection with 
the various trains of the Grand Trunk Railway. 

The Rapid Railway (electric) to Port Huron and to the 
Grand Trunk depot, passes this house, and all cars make 
it one of their important stopping points, and of departure 
for Detroit and all places upon the lines. 

The Sherman has a large office, facing both streets, and 
it is a favorite resort of the male guests of the different 
hotels, who find it the most popular of the public places 



for socially meeting their gentlemen acquaintances and in 
witnessing the passing of tlie daily parade of promenaders. 

The house is well furnished, well kept, and liberally 
patronized. The rates are reasonable, and commercial 
rates are given to commercial men. The cuisine is of the 
best. Two of the leading bath houses, the Medea, on South 
Gratiot avenue, and the Clementine, on Cass avenue, are 
within one block of this hotel. 

It is chiefly because it is situated in the very heart of 
the business center that it receives such a large share of 
commercial tourists' patronage ; but it must not be under- 
stood from this that it does not cater to and receive a 
liberal share of business from visitors to Mt. Clemens for 
health and pleasure, who also prefer the Sherman for this 
same reason. 

The new proprietors, Eyth & Herrman, have taken a 
long lease of the Sherman, which has been thoroughly 
altered and improved ; a new dining room and kitchen have 
been built adjoining. Mr. Eyth has been connected with 
the hotel for several years as chief clerk and manager. 




THE WAPPNER 

riiis family hotel was erected and opened to the pubHc in 
I'joS, and is therefore one of our newest hotels. 

It was well built and contains all the latest improvements, in- 
cluding hot and cold running water in each room, and bath rooms 
inr both ladies and gentlemen on all floors. The sleeping rooms 
are of good size and very nicely furnished; the front and corner 
Idioms are especially fine. The illustrations on next page give 
a good idea of the style of the interior arrangement of the 
house. The center cut of group shows the office and hall leading 
lo the dining room, and the stairway leading to the upper floors. 
The reading and writing room is to the left of office and the 
ladies' parlor on the right. 

^Ir. and Mrs. Wappner for over eight years were located at 
The Lexington, and were successful. By strict attention and by 
pleasing their guests they were enabled to purchase a splendid 
1 -cation and build a larger and better house. 

The hotel has ample room for forty to fifty guests and during 
the busy seasons these accommodations have been ta.xcd to their 
full capacity. The cuisine is all that may be expected — family 
cooking and everything of the very best. 

The rates range from $I0 to $20 per week, according to loca- 
tion of rooms.

THE QLENWOOD 

This fine new building is by tar the 
largest and best equipped private board- 
ing house in the city. The new engrav- 
ing of the exterior, we think, more cor- 
rectly represents this homelike hotel than 
any we have previously used. We have 
also used the word hotel instead of cot- 
tage, considering it more appropriate. It 
is a three-story brick building, lighted by 
electricity and heated by steam, with 
broad open veranda, fine reception hall, 
large, light and airy dining room, all fin- 
ished in oak. In this dining room will 
be served the best that is obtainable. 
There are forty guest rooms, single or 
en suite, as preferred, with stationary lavatories and hot 
and cold water. They are all outside rooms and well 
ventilated. The floors are deadened and made entirely of 
hard wood, and covered with large, handsome, movable rugs. 

This hotel is situated next to the Olympia Bath House 
and but a few doors from the Clementine Bath House and 
two blocks from the Medea, on Cass avenue, one of the 
finest residence avenues in the city. Visitors desiring

quietude as well as conveniences, and nice association, 
as well as good company, find them here. The street 
cars pass the doors, making connection with all the in- 
coming and outgoing trains. Rates are $10.50 to $17.50 
per week, according to location of rooms and whether 
occupied by one or more.

Tile Benford 



THE BENFORD 

This new hotel was completed last fall and in its con- 
struction the modern conveniences were embraced, includ- 
ing hot and cold running water in stationary washstands 
in every room, toilets and bath rooms on all floors, electric 
lights, etc. The rooms are of comfortable size and neatly 
furnished and the hotel is more like a large family board- 
ing house, where all the guests are made to feel at home, 
than a large hotel where the formalities are not always 
appreciated by patrons of smaller houses. 

Mr. and Mrs. Benford were proprietors of the Chase 
House, adjoining, for several years, where by catering to 
the wants and comforts of their patrons they established 





Dining Room of The Benford 



Office of The Benford 

a reputation which enabled them to secure this fine house 
and increase their business. 

Mrs. Benford is a good cook and employs only those in 
her kitchen who know how to fill this position. From one 
who was a patron for years we learned that the table was 
always supplied with an abundance of home cooked food 
and of the best in our markets. 

Tlie Benford is located on South Walnut, less than 
half a block from Cass avenue and near three of the best 
bath houses in the city, the Clementine at the corner and 
the other two not much farther. 

Rates, $8 to $12 per week, $1.50 to $1.75 per day, accord- 
ing to location of rooms.

REH'S HOTEL 

Til is hotel is situated immediately opposite the Medea 
Bath House and next door to the waiting room and ticket 
office of the Rapid (electric) Railway. The Reh's (Hun- 
garian) Hotel is a strictly Jewish hotel and the largest 
and best patronized west of New York City, in which 
city Mr. Reh conducted a Jewish hotel and restaurant for 
about twenty years. All foods are prepared in accordance 
with the Jewish ancient custom and religion (strictly 
kosher). 

The success of The Reh has been remarkable and its 
patronage so liberal that the house was crowded, and 
.Mr. Reh often wished his liotel was larger. This year 
we notice a large number, and of a better class, and it is

Hotel Monroe and Plaza Bath House — Both Under One Management — C. Addis, Proprietor 




THE MELROSE 

This new house seems to fill the position of what may 
be termed a "happy medium" between a small liotel and a 
large boarding house, and yet it is both, and at the same 
time neither. It is home, not only to Mrs. Catherine L. 
Blayney, wlio owns tlie property, and her small family, but 



to all of their guests as long as they remain beneath the 
roof of the Melrose. Everything about the house is home- 
like. It is situated at 25 South Avenue, a short distance 
from Cass Avenue, on which are the Clementine and Olym- 
pia Bath Houses, one block distant. Rates, $8 to $12 per 
week, according to room selected. 



THE CLEMENTINE 
HOTEL 

This new brick hotel was 
completed and opened for 
business early this spring 
(1908). It is immediately 
adjoining the well-known 
bath house of the same 
name, and connected by 
door with the bathing de- 
partment, a convenience en- 
joyed by very few of the 
smaller hotels. All of the 
modern conveniences are in- 
cluded in its construction. 
It is nicely furnished and 
visitors requiring the baths 
will be pleased with the 
■Clementine Hotel. The rates 
are $9 to $15 per week, and 
the house is to be open all 
the year. 

E. M. FuRTON. Profrietor 




The Clcineutiuo Hold 



KING HOUSE 

This well-known hotel is very 
pleasantly situated on Cass Ave- 
nue, about midway between the 
Grand Trunk depot and the City 
Hall, and is passed by the electric 
car line connecting with all trains. 
The house also runs a free car- 
riage to depot and bath houses for 
the accommodation of all guests. 
This is strictly a family hotel, 
having no bar in connection. 

The engraving shown gives a 
very good idea of the class of 
guests who patronize this house, 
and our readers who desire rea- 
sonable priced accommodation can 
feel assured of meeting nice peo- 
ple and receiving kind treatment 
at the hands of its proprietors. 

Rates, $6 to $8 per week. 

G. .\. Wii.DT, Proprietor.

House, having an enclosed passageway to the bathing de- 
partment. It is convenient to the business center of the 
city, at No. 19 Walnut Street ; has twenty guest rooms, 
heated by steam, and has electric lights. Mrs. Capron 
makes a special effort to furnish an excellent table service. 

Rates, per week, $7 and upward; table board, $5. Rooms 
reserved in advance by communicating with Mrs. E. Cap- 
ron, proprietress. 




THE WOODBINE 

This is one of the best and newest of the small hotels 
built within the last year or two. It is of brick, and 
pleasantly situated at 40 South Walnut, only about one- 
half block from the Clementine Bath House. Every room 
in the house is heated by steam, and everything is new 
and neat. Rates, $7 to $10 per week. 

George Weis, Proprietor.

C. Gilbert Wheeler, 

An.2lycieal Chemist. 

Mt. Clemens Bitter Water is not a physic nor a harsh 
catliartic. It is Nature's tonic laxative. It refreshes and 
stimulates the natural functionings of the stomach, bowels, 
liver, kidney and bladder, cleansing and strengthening. 

It is a reliable remedy for Chronic Constipation. A 
glass every morning before breakfast will accomplish won- 
ders in a few weeks. It restores natural conditions. 

For alcoholic excess, a full glass of Bitter Water before 
breakfast proves a splendid and prompt restorer to normal 
nerve conditions. 

In the treatment of Rheumatism, Gout and Skin and 
Blood Diseases it is a very valuable au.xiliary to the Mt. 
Clemens Homebath Mineral Salt Baths. 

It is very gentle in its action. There are no unpleasatit 
results, nor does it take very long to bring about pro- 
nounced results. 

The Mt. Clemens Bitter Water was awarded highest 
honors at the World's Fair, Chicago. Its great success and 
popularity during the past twenty-four years has caused a 
number of imitations to appear upon the market. 

Put up in quart bottles and "Splits," one to six dozen 
to the case. Price, per dozen: Quarts, $,3.50: Splits, $1.80. 

Sold at all drug stores, first-class hotels and bars, or 
shipped direct, on receipt of price.

Water. It is pleasing to the taste and marvel- 
ously beneficial in its remedial action, cleans- 
ing, strengthening, invigorating. 

It is equal to any other water in the world 
claiming similar merit. It Is especially bene- 
ficial in Constipation, Dyspepsia, Sick Head-

MT. CLEMENS HOMEBATH MINERAL SALTS 

One Bath from This Salt at Home Will Make Vou 
Want Twenty. one at Mt. Clemens 

Tlie genuine Mt. Clemens Mineral Water from which 
this Bath Salt is extracted, comes from the depths of the 
earth. The wells are over a thousand feet deep. Of course, 
it is better to go to Mt. Clemens 
and use the natural water. The 
facilities there are complete for ad- 
ministering the baths. The rest, 
clnnatic change, diet, all tend to 
more favorable results. 

For those zi'ho do not go to Mt. 
C'lniiciis, the use of the Bath Salt 
at home is the next best thing. It 
makes the nearest bath obtainable 
to that of the natural Mt. Clemens 
water. 

We have, by our special vacuum 
r>r<>cess, been able to crystallize the 
Mmeral Salts from the famous Mt 
Clemens Mineral Water. In this 
process rone of the remedial vir- 
tues of the Salts are lost, but we 
have taken away that particular gas 
which discolors the bath tub, cur- 
, , - These Salts we have trademarked un- 
der the name of the "Mt. Clemens Homebath Mineral Salts 
Concentrated." We put them up, enough for one bath, in' 
a round carton (or bo.x) with full directions for using' on 
each box. Tliese boxes are put up 21 baths in a case. 

The Mt. Clemens Homebath Mineral Salts are specially 
valuable in all Rheumatic Affections, Gout, Skin and Blood 
Diseases, Liver and Kidney Diseases, Nervous Disorders, 
Stomach Diseases and Catarrhal Affections.

skin diseases of all kinds.

tration of the Mineral Water of Mt. Clemens, and by our 
special process worked into a valuable remedial, and at 
the same time enjoyable and pleasing, toilet soap.

healthy condition. It allays itching and brings quick relief 
in eczema, milk crust and inherited diseases of children.

forms of contagious diseases. Its use pre- 
serves and beautifies the skin, drives away 
pimples, redness and other blemishes. It 
relieves the clogged and morbid condition 
of the pores, oil glands and ducts, and 
frees them from the injurious effects of 
face powders and cosmetic washes, pro- 
ducing a fresh complexion.
